Suzanne Suzanne
Dedicated to New Age music pioneer Suzanne Ciani, whose landmark albums, The Velocity of Love, Neverland, History of my Heart and numerous others like Pianissimo I, II & III still warm the soul.

Idyll Idyll
Version 5 and I'm finally happy with it. Now I can get on with finishing Event Horizon.

Sands of Time (el Amarna) Sands of Time (el Amarna)
The enigmatic 18th Dynasty Pharoah Amenhotep IV changed religion, took the name of Ahkenaten, and moved the capital city from Thebes to Tell el Amarna with Queen Nefertiti. Oh, and he was also the father of a rather famous pharoah named Tutankhamun.

Eternia Eternia
Another one of those early New Agey tunes from around 1993 that are so dear to me because I was just getting started in this electronic music thing. Sounds like I had been listening to a lot of Jonn Serrie's Flightpath when I did this one!

The Sentinel The Sentinel
The Sentinel keeps his lonely vigil to insure his people are safe from harm. Another great OASYS combination that deftly mixes KARMA with wavesequencing percussion elements laid the groundwork for this one.

Free Spirit Free Spirit
Korg gifts us with 96 free combinations for Thanksgiving. I wasted no time in working on this one. I dedicate this one to Jack Hotop, the venerable Korg sound master who has wowed us with his sonic creations for all of these years...and still does!

Ancient Future (Dreams of Far Away) Ancient Future (Dreams of Far Away)
An early (1992) Space/New Age attempt on the Korg 01R/W and Roland D-70. Songs like this one are dear to me because MIDI and synthesizers were at that time so new to me and I was finally able to get the sounds in my head onto tape!

Kashmiri Dawn Kashmiri Dawn
An early stab (1993) at an ambient space with a lush tamboura...courtesy of my new at that time E-mu Proteus 3 World synth module.
